kitty joining in

As an idea, meditation is incredibly simple, but in practice it can be rather more challenging. Obstacles are common and it’s important that we feel comfortable and confident with that, knowing that others are experiencing just the same thing. So, if you have a question or a reflection about the exercise itself or any element of practice, this is the place to go.

Hi I have a kitty that insists on joining me when I sit down to meditate. As I get started at the point of closing my eyes he jumps on my lap and moves about until he gets comfortable and finally settles in. How much does this interfere with my session? Should I stop and try to remove him from the room?I know this must sound silly but just want to make sure I'm getting full advantage of the sessions. Thx!
